Mobile Ad Hoc network is rapidly developing research area, one of the open question in this area is secure data inside the network. Encryption algorithms play a main role in information security systems. On the other side, those algorithms consume a significant amount of computing resources such as CPU time, memory, and battery power. This paper provides evaluation of three of the common encryption algorithms: AES, Blowfish, and GOST. A comparison has been conducted for those encryption algorithms at different sizes of data blocks. Key expansion time and encryption/decryption speed was measured. Simulation results are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of each algorithm.
